Part 1: Written Reflection
The first project will focus on constructing a print-based document. The main mode of communication will be linear written text, with a standard visual format. This project will mirror traditional classroom assignments in terms of the modalities through which meaning is constructed. See MAPS heuristic for more specific details.

Refers to the specific action that a writer aims to accomplish with a piece:
What is the prompt or task you are responding to by creating this piece? What do you want students to demonstrate by completing this project? Would you include elements of genre, writer's craft, analysis? Would you ask the writer to make connections to other books, the real world, or their own lives? Would you focus on creativity or reader-generated topics? You must individually determine the purpose for this project by considering your selected book, mode, media, audience, situation, and individual motivations and interests as a reader and teacher. |
